Jeebus.

Plantagenet Milk Monitor Penny Mourdant is going to be a leadership contender by next week.

Shouting, whistling and dissent - it was never going to be any other way for angry Liverpool fans. The national anthem is symbolic of their distrust of the establishment

It boiled plenty of piss of the royal bootlickers and serfs up and down the land so mission accomplished!

Dungeons and Dragons for pensioners.

Yesterday had all the elements of a "good plot" as outlined in the Dungeon Master's Guide.

Cultists, clerics, nobles, an array of artefacts that confer magical powers, an army of many nations marching on the palace.

This morning I read that Penny Morduant is the "Pippa Middleton of the coronation".

A desperate bid by the tories for a "post local's bounce"?
I through the notorious "tit vote" was restricted to student elections,.

Hi mind must be on it. After all, his dad King Chaz is 74 years old. It's not likely to be another 22 years until Chaz turns up his toes at the age of 96 like his mammy. Might be ten years, realistically.

Chazza was supposed to have been having a "slimmed down" coronation, but there wasn't much evidence of anything having been slimmed down today. Will Willie finally get real? Don't hold yer fucking breath.

I’m of the view that William gets off on the arse licking of the Mail, Express, etc as he doesn’t really have to do anything, just walk round with an inane grin and the press will do the rest, but at the end of the day will get off on the “pomp and circumstance” just like his dad, because they are told daily that it’s what makes them “special”. If he wants to be seen as a real grown-up, and his own man, he should have reached out to his brother.

As an aside; MiL said “Wonder if any of Dinah’s family are there”, came the reply “Well her ex-husband is”

And a dash of holy Peckham Spring Water.

It's gone beyond a bit of a joke and now it's starting to get worrying:

What’s Lee have to say about layabouts leaving their shit in the street.

To be fair it looked like the afterparty was pretty good.

Why is it that all the photos of Chaz and Mrs look like a couple who have been dressed up for some pageant in an old people’s home

On a related note, I don't know if it was on here or somewhere else where I read that there are so many photos of William and Kate looking happy and doing normal things normally that it's all starting to look a bit forced.

I think I said something along the lines of couples who are happily married don't need to keep posing for pictures to prove that they are happily married.

It sometimes feels like an advertising campaign:
“You too can have a lovely, perfect lives like ours”

Marina Hyde on the arrests.

Prime minister Rishi Sunak is at pains to insist that “the police are operationally independent of government”, which might be a little too convenient. I’m not sure you get to pass draconian new legislation into law a mere three days before the coronation, then claim its prompt misuse has nothing to do with you. After all, you can hardly say the previous stab at draconian overhaul – the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 – didn’t give a clear warning as to how this might play out. (This was the act that allowed for greater sentences for attacking statues than women, encouragingly.) In that case, the police began quickly and frequently misusing their new powers, either because they didn’t understand them, or because they didn’t care to. The Sarah Everard vigil during the special circumstances of the pandemic was an earlier warning bell – we saw how the Met policed protest when given almost unlimited powers.

Yet they keep on getting more. Suella Braverman’s Home Office in particular should struggle with Macavity-ing its way out of this latest foul-up, given that it only very recently sent an official warning letter to Republic stressing that new laws had been brought forward to deal with “disruption at major sporting and cultural events”. According to the Home Office last week, this letter was meant to inform, not intimidate. A claim that possibly doesn’t hold up in light of events.

I honestly forgot about the 2022 act and assumed this was the same bit of legislation.

Rhys, and old cycling butty of mine, has the scoop.

What, honestly, did they expect to happen?

I'd be surprised if they thought about it at all.

I wonder what has happenned to the boxes in Edinburgh, London and Hillsborough. I expect only the latter had any political thought behind its location.

Nothing to hide, nothing to fear.
